cable

Hello. The USB charging cable I got with my Sony Xperia Z1 is b ridiculously short and I want to buy a longer one but I wanna make sure it'll be sufficient?
I have a mini USB charging cable I bought online, which is long, but its power doesn't seem to be sufficient (phone battery drains while charging)...
Does anyone have a link to a cable that they know works?
Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no solution I can offer at this stage as we do not have a longer cable available to meet this requirement. I would also like to ask people to please bear in mind the information provided by Beginner111 regarding potential harm to your product by using third party chargers.

Same way as long garden watering hose has friction long electrical cable has electron friction, so solution is to have thicker cable (diameter marked as millimeter square meters) by this cable can be longer even using genuine good quality (made by Salcomp) Sony charger. I have 3 meters long cable with genuine 1500 milliampere charger and it is working (charges even using phone at the same time) very well.

Imagine you set light pulp (with thin wire inside) middle of the charge cable so all the energy is used by the pulp but nothing goes to battery.
